positioning of crank sensor or flywheel or is it the sign to give up. because that last one is something i won't do

 

well you just spent a grand slapping parts on a car and now it's been towed to an auto-mechanic's shop (where your about to foot another bill). If the sign isn't clear now...it may never be.

 

Are you 100% sure that this flywheel is for a FWD application?

 

so what ever became of this?

 

yes, it is for a fwd application.

i have bad news, basically the mechanic wasted my time. so i guess im just going to tackle the job myself. i just ordered a oem flywheel. when i get the fidanza flywheel off i will compare it with the oem flywheel. I will get the measurements and pictures of the two.

............

 

lol....HE wasted YOUR TIME?!??? Did you pay him anything? Surely you've got half a grand in towing costs at this point.

 

any progress?
here is the proper orientation of the flywheel and timing gear.

 

did this ever get finished? I'll buy your car in pieces for 2 grand
.

 

it finally started up tonight. very VERY relieved

2 grand? yea that sounds unbelievably fair

ill write the details and post pics tomorrow its a long story.

i typed it up but when i posted it i lost connection which caused me to having to type the whole story all over

 

thanks to pmohr, nyc2k2maxx and chillin014 you guys were alot of help, without you guys this project would have probably been unsuccessful

 

What is there to write a story about? Just say what solved the problem. Are you still using a lightweight flywheel, or a stock one? I just installed a lightweight flywheel in my car, but I think the stock one is probably more use friendly as far as learning to drive goes.

Btw, my name is Chris.

 

i dont know what you did to fix it, but if the timing ring has any sort of dent or deformation on it, you will get the exact symptoms you described

 

im using the stock flywheel. your using the fidanza or a different aftermarket flywheel?

nice to meet you chris, my name is payam

 

actually yea the timing ring looked a lil warped when i was comparing the stock flywheel to the fidanza

but i know half my problem was not having the reinforcement ring on, without researching, i just thought it was used only for the auto flex plate. so when i purchased the stock flywheel, i saw a reinforcement ring on the back of the flywheel(welded on)

 

no, i'll call you raverpx.

I am using the Fidanza lightweight flywheel. All I had to do was swap the timing ring though. waiting for some other things before I can drive the car.

 

 

hopefully i see it again one day
